I saw ELYSIUM trailer on IMAX and the soundtrack is so deafening that I fear the whole auditorium would collapse.
There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Th best sound mix of the year is still TDKR.
"...Gravity has grossed a total of $365.6 million overseas and crossed the $600 million global mark this weekend with a $615.3 million worldwide cume..."
On hearing my enthusiastic $600M WW predict for GRAVITY, some guy said:
"I think people need to get an Expectation Lowering Procedure training before they are allowed to post predictions.
Lecture 1- Just because you want a film to succeed and it exceeds expectations in the first weekend doesn't mean that your predictions should make humongous jumps.''
This guy is wise and he is right but it is nice you are vindicated

More promotional campaigns in Asia? China may still warm up to the sequels, MJ.
South Korea number is not so bad. But Japan's persistent indifference to US
movies is not helping either.
Audience is starving for a premium family fare. Thanksgiving+ Disney animation = can't lose.
The trailers don't look that impressive and I never predicted anything more than $55M for 3-day. This is great news for Disney...again.
HOBBIT2 doesn't really matter to THOR2.
If TDW has a rival it is Katniss. And THOR2
got capped when CF opened huge and
maintains a surprising hold this coming
weekend.
Holy cr*p, that will make GRAVITY a completely different film and a very dark one.
I do feel the 11th hour inspiration by Bullock (+the hopeful hallucination) is a little contrived.
And the spectacular re-entry scene...how can you completely excise that.
I was at China thread, I was telling them it is the female lead. This movie came after THOR2 & EP, a pair of testosterone extravaganzas, which are generally liked
